I have a DT rife and cannot say it's this great modality for me.
Many here seem to have such positive results with it.
Why would this happen?
I have not gotten B. Rossners book on lyme...maybe I should.

I would check to make sure the machine is functioning properly. Try run a real low frequency such as 5 Hz and see if the tube pulses. If it does, it is most likely OK.
What frequencies have you used, and what other treatments are you using, if any?
Have you had any reaction to it, or just nothing?
I run 2016 Hz and it works well. 612 Hz is another good one.

Very highly likely to be the placebo effect with Rife.

I sometimes wonder why a treatment works for one or not another. Well all treatments are placebo, if you are happy with the result. The body heals, no substance or doctor can heal someone especially if they don't want to be healed.
When you go through the frequencies again, it just might be your frame of mind. Try changing it while you are treating. I'm curious if it might help, but be sure to not have the view it can't work, if you do, it won't.

How can it be placebo if Dan B can make his wife react to frequencies w/o her knowing which one? Maybe she can do telepathic ART readings? Posts: 7545 | From The 5th Dimension - The Twilight Zone | Registered: Mar 2008

A placebo effect can happen if you have expectations one way or another, but it is not going to last long. It also is more of a problem with treatments with a very subtle or hard to measure effect. Frequency treatments are not real subtle with Lyme.
If you are killing Spirochetes, you will respond to that in a physical manner, whether you think it works or not. If as person drops a hammer on their foot, it is going to hurt, I don't care what your expectation is.
There are things that can go wrong with frequency treatments, and the first thing to check is if the machine is functioning. I had a problem with mine, and I knew it when I stopped getting the effects I should have.
It may be that the reason is unknown, but it only makes sense to cover the basics, to eliminate simple problems. Especially since it could make the difference between getting better or not.

I have no idea if a rife machine actually works or not; but I admit to being a skeptic.
Here's why I think so many seem to benefit from it, or think they do.....this is just an idea from a skeptic, not saying it doesn't work.....
Most ppl have used antibiotics for a long time before ever turning to the rife machine. It is very possible that they have actually already irradicated the Lyme spirochetes by that time; but still feel really bad because of many aspects. Body is run down, a few viruses are still hanging around, etc. It is a well known fact that if you are very ill for years, it will take a few years to recondition your body.
After using the rife for a few months, not realizing the spirochetes were atually already dead, people start to feel better. They think the rife did it. They believe in it so it makes sense.
In reality, it just took this amount of time for the body, after dealing with long term illness, to start to recondition and to finally start to feel normal again. It takes at least a year after killing all the spirochets to begin to recondition the body.
Now that being said, maybe there is something to the rife machine; but I have my doubts.

You need to be using the right frequencies for your particular problems in order to get good results. Sometimes it's hard to tell if pharmaceuticals or herbs are having an effect even when they are. The same may apply to rife for certain people/problems.
Try different frequencies, keep good notes. Find a good kineseologist to help determine the best frequencies for you if you can't find them on your own.
Have you tried rife as part of your therapy wild? In my experience it is highly unlikely to be placebo. I started using the machine 3 months before I started abx. I had already decided I wanted one before I started abx for lyme.
I had deep painful cracks in my heels with lack of feeling and they were as hard as a rock. I'd had the problem for many years (10+) and had tried everything under the sun to heal them and nothing worked. They were getting progressively worse.
With the use of rife, within a few months the cracks were almost gone (they healed from the inside out) and they were so much softer. My husband and I were astounded. I had feeling again in my heels after years of no feeling. That convinced me. I'm sure that if placebo were going to work, it would have kicked in long before I tried rife considering all the things I had tried for this problem.
Rife will take the terrible burning in my feet away within a day. It works, that's good enough for me.

How I'm rifing is every 12 days for lyme/coinfections picking 2 different frequencies every time.
Perhaps I should be doing more frequencies or for a longer time? I ususally do each frequency for 2-3 minutes each.
How often and how long should I use each frequency to have success?

I would do the same thing you are already doing, but a little different.
I know that 612 Hz works from experience, but only on Spirochetes. Try just 612 Hz and increase the time to five minutes.
If you get no result switch to 2016 Hz. This does effect Spirochete form, but also hits some other variant from what I can tell from using both.
By methodically going through the frequencies, you should be able to come to some kind of conclusion.
Have you tested the machine at a low frequency? The tube should pulse at 5 hz. If it does not, your device is not functioning.

I've never used rife SG, but I'm not buying into that theory at all. Sorry. My gut intuition is it takes aggressive, long-term combination Abx/anti-malarials targeted towards the right pathogens to ultimately win. The people doing this are the ones, sometimes, that go from 20% to 90% functioning fast.

The tube definitely pulses so I'm assuming it's working. I sit about 2 feet from the rife which could also be a problem.

You lose about half of the power for every foot of distance from the machine. Even at two feet it should have an effect, but closer is better.

If it really worked, everyone would be cured by now...some of the top LLMD have mentioned that some frequencies can be very harmful and cause cancer. If it helps or has helped you thats wonderful, but it does not help everyone. Be careful. Research this stuff from real sources. Credible sources.

tickalert - can you tell us if you have felt anything after the session or during it?
Let us know what happens if you decide to take Dan's advice and sit closer and try the frequencies for a longer time period. Did you feel anything then?
Is there anyone nearby with Lyme who rifes who could try your machine to see if they get a reaction to it? This might tell you if it is defective.

Seek I am confused by your post. You say you are not buying that theory. Which theory, the one where I don't buy that rife kills ketes or the theory that rife actually works.
I am very skeptical that rife can kill ketes. Not putting anyone down for trying it; and not saying definetly it doesn't. Just very skeptical.

I do not think it is bad to be skeptical. I think it is an important trait, as a skeptic myself. But I also realize that I do not know everything, and never will.
I never used an alternative treatment prior to the Lyme infection. I had good reason not to. If they worked, my doctor would be using it. It is a comfortable thought, but not realistic.
It was only when I had no other choice that I had to find a way to treat this disease, without any access to antibiotics. If she could have been properly diagnosed and treated with a regimen of antibiotics, this conversation may never have taken place.
I was not thrilled to treat Lyme, but I am not a stupid person either, so I knew I could find a way to treat it, and I really had no other option.
You also have to consider that I am forty eight years old, and have tested this every way you can test it. I have had failures with mold and treating E-Coli. I do not pretend it works when it does not. Sometimes the results are inconclusive.
Lyme was not even questionable. A person just does not spontaneously improve from bad Arthritis and mental problems after a Deer Tick Bite.
You also cannot pretend to be pain free if you are in pain. Since the bulk of our treatment has been using this method, there really is no other conclusion you can come to.
Peter is older than I am, and we are both level headed people. It is not like we are eighteen years old, and feel everything is possible. I know I have been lied to enough to not believe anything I cannot verify.
With age comes a jaundiced eye toward most everything. Not much is taken at face value, it has to be demonstrated to do what is claimed. We are very skeptical people ourselves. At our age we are not prone to believe in magic or the latest cure all. We test and either we get results or we don't. It is as simple as that.
I do not even propose this is the best treatment for Lyme. It is just one other option for those who either are not able to use other treatments, or those who choose to use this one.
If I was making up a story I would not have spent over three years coming up with it, and to even make it more impressive I would say frequencies cured my wife of Lyme.
She is not cured, but she is much better. All I can do is report the results as honestly as I can.
It is up to each person to either use it, or not. I am not making any money or getting any other benefit from this. I just feel that it would be awful selfish not to report my results to the very people that could use it most.
I encourage everyone to use a treatment that works for them. I am not married to this one. We have used other treatments ourselves. I take a prescription for my Crohn's Disease in addition to my own treatments. I am also symptom free. One of the few people that have achieved this for any amount of time.
Frequency treatments have not contributed to my wellness, other than to remove an H-pylori infection. I have tried and they have so far failed to help my Crohn's in any meaningful way.
Then I moved on to something that did work. I do not waste time on treatments that do not produce results, and neither should anyone else.

Funny to run across this today as I am just in the process of learning about Rife. Can you please tell me who is saying this causes Cancer?
I have googled and searched and have found nothing that suggests that. Except for maybe QuackWatch, but they think Chiropractors are nuts too. They don't believe in anything other than Western Meds etc.....
The worse claims are ones that claim it is a waste of money, but I have not heard of an LLMD that claims that. How could it cause cancer? Do you know how it does that.
Thank you

It is used to treat Cancer. Probably one of the most common disease it is used for. Sometimes it works spectacularly and sometimes it fails miserably.
Royal Rife was probably exposed to more frequencies than anyone in history, but he did not die of Cancer.
Your Cell Phone and wireless internet and all the other frequencies floating around expose you twenty four hours a day to random frequencies. Far more than you could ever get from a frequency treatment. These random frequencies are in the range that can affect human cells.

Dr. B, Dr. H, Dr. S, Dr. J, Dr. C, Dr. M. Dr. Z and so on, highly respected doctors, in person. I cannot mention the names due to Lymenet rules. If you research this subject enough and ask questions the answers are there. I really don't have an opinion one way or the other when it comes to Rife. If it helps you, that's great, if it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm simply posting the info I gathered from speaking to doctors on the subject.
There is equal info and opinion on the flip side from doctors who swear by it and patients who use Rife religiously.
When I tried it, even against the advice of my then LLMD, it didn't do anything for me. There are too many variables, protocols and frequencies and time fluctuations with this to determine if one protocol may be best for Lyme patients.
More research should be done. Good luck.

Thank you! That is why I am curious why Wild Condor thinks this.
From everything that I have learned about rife, it seems to me that we are exposed to far greater things that would cause cancer. These frequencies are around me all day long. The only difference is that when you rife you are putting the machine on very specific frequencies.
I am a skeptic too and like to research before I try anything, even antibiotics. I was scared to death to try long term abx as well. I did round after round and could tell that I needed a break.
I do think the best thing about this site is that we can share and respect each others opinions and learn about what works and what does not, as we try to sift our way through this hell.

Oh lordie! Please re-read this. I never said that I THINK that Rife causes Cancer folks...I just posted what I was TOLD by these doctors. I have taken so many patients to LLMD visits over the years, I have gotten to know many of them on a first name basis. I have heard the Rife question being asked many times and the response was usually that Rife didn't work, could be harmful, could cause Cancer, and so on. There were positive responses such as "some of my patients swear by it" too like I said.
I found a ton or research and support in favor of Rife, so I believe it is indeed helpful and has merit. I wish it was studied more. Certainly by now it it was a CURE we would all be cured from using it. I still think it takes a combination of things to get well. Rife is probably a big piece of the puzzle for many of us. Before you get defensive, and make me out to be some "anti-Rife" lunatic please read what I said, not what you think I said please.
Ask your own doctor what they think. Keep in mind that those doctors have their own approaches to Lyme treatment and that if you want to use Rife, then you are basically somewhat telling them you don't need them or what they have to offer(or it could be felt that way to them) that is what I meant by be careful. They cannot tell you that Rife works. Hello!

Suggest we canvas the LLMDs opinion on the safety of rife, especially cancer. I suggest we also ask, if they might suggest it to be therapeutic in there opinion off the record. I'm sure on this board we can get a few of us to ask, just to be sure.
There are several here who are interested in rife and would like to know. There are also several here who find rife to be a valueless treatment. And they seem dead set on telling the world it is valueless. I think sometimes valueless has to be determined by the adventurer. And having lyme whether you like it or not, your an adventurer. Because all you have to do is step beyond the IDSA guidelines to be one.
Even the ilad pragmatic views of seek, can see the logic in that. Right seek!

They can't go on record saying they think Rife works. They could lose their licenses!
IF you ASK your LLMD what he/she thinks, they can tell you. But that is between YOU and your dr....not the world.
My dr said he had several patients get well on Rife. That was good enough for me. BUT... I didn't do it as a way to GET well, but to STAY well.
I would not recommend that people just dump their abx out and begin Rifing one week after a tick bite. Could work, but what if it doesn't?
tickalert.. DT says in his info to be no further than 18 inches from the machine.
I always run 10 minutes per frequency. Never more than 30 min at a time.. and this was after rifing for a few months. I built UP to that.
I also waited two weeks before running it again.

Part of me wants to rife but part of me realizes that I probably won't ever unless I'm to that desperate point.
Seems like too much of a guessing game.
And the time table between rifes is so long that by the time you find your niche or frequencies your like 6 months in lol

Seems there is logic & science behind the Rife-type technology. It's not totally hocus pocus.
The main reason why it wasn't developed is because there was a decision made that the drug companies were going to be the only game in town for illness. This decision was made in the 1920's or 30's.
This is when they started cracking down on herbs, too. It may even be why marijuana is illegal...?
I have read university studies that these frequencies or vibrations can shake the pathogens & cause them to rupture. The reason it may not work for everyone is that I don't think every pathogen is susceptible to this.
For example, if you have a co-infection like babesia - if may not be effective. So, even though you have treated Lyme, you may still have babesia.
For some, the side effects of the abx can be the same as the symptoms of Lyme & company. Sometimes, people may feel better when they stop the abx since they weren't effecting the precise pathogens that they may have had.
The ticks are dirty little suckers... They carry many different pathogens.
It's all very individual. I guess you just have to give it a try to see if it works. Unfortunately, these things are expensive.
I spent thousands on abx & supplements. Some didn't work for me, either. I don't think abx are bad but they just didn't work or they were the wrong ones.
It's all about trial & error - - - I guess you could sell the Rife if it doesn't work. Too bad I can't get a refund on all the drugs & supplements I took that didn't work.

I think it's the protocol that fails people.
We know abx's kill pathogens... but when, how much, what combo.
These things may even play a bigger factor than anything.

Define "exposed".
Quote from Benjamin Cullen, who watched Rife work regularly.
"I've seen Roy sit in that doggone seat without moving, watching the changes in the frequency, watching when the time would come when the virus in the slide would be destroyed. Twenty-four hours was nothing for him. Forty-eight hours. He had done it many times. Sit there without moving. He wouldn't touch anything except a little water. his nerves were just like cold steel. he never moved. his hands never quivered.
Of course he would train beforehand and go through a very careful workout afterward to build himself up again. But that is what I would call one of the most magnificent sights of human control and endurance I'd ever seen".
Rife's technology did not harm the human or animal host. The oscillatory rates of humans and small mammals are much more complex than (and much different from) the MORs of microscopic virus's, bacteria or fungi. Rife was confident about the safety of his equipment, and stated this on numerous occasions.
"With the [50 to 60 watts of] power that is in these [ray tubes] there is absolutely no harm.... I had my [ray] tube right here...about 11 or 12 inches away from the slide in the microscope. And here I was with...that tube going...year after year...and it never harmed me in any way."
"I stood in front of that thing [his RF ray tube] for 30 years finding these different frequencies that devitalize these different bacteria. And that thing was shooting me right here [his chest], but it is absolutely harmless to normal tissue."
The previous text is from Nenah Sylver's book "The Rife Handbook".

I think it does some thing but I'm not feeling like this has done it. Trying some of things on here might be an alternative.
I rifed two days ago and noticed the next day I felt better.
I've had lyme for probable 30 years.
Abx is not am option for me either. A while back I had C Diff which could've killed me as bad as it was.
Since we all know not every thing works for everyone it's definitely a fishing expedition when it comes to lyme tretament.
I have a close friend who had cancer, went to Mexicos for treatment and is well today. One of the things they used was rife combined with many other modalities.
In terms of a lot of LLMD'S not liking rife that I'm not sure of. I did treat with one LLMD who told me to try a rife machine. Lymetoo...it's your LLMD.

How much research in other countries has been done with RIFE? I know we won't see studies in this country since the Insurance Companies run the country's medical industry. How do they know which frequencies do what?
I know a guy in Philly who has had great success with RIFE.

From my experiences with loved ones...chemo, radiation and surgery don't "cure" cancer either.
So I don't think to highly of todays traditional medicine. Big Pharm sucks too. If I had waited for the system to help me get my life back...

I see Dr. H too. He said the same thing to me that he said to you TB. He wasn't receptive at all, but his PA was very receptive and supportive. However, she's showing support because I've done everything else. No options are left aside from IV again, but that'll just end in me going on and off IV, and then relapsing, then back again.

quote:Originally posted by WildCondor: Oh lordie! Please re-read this. I never said that I THINK that Rife causes Cancer folks...I just posted what I was TOLD by these doctors. I have taken so many patients to LLMD visits over the years, I have gotten to know many of them on a first name basis. I have heard the Rife question being asked many times and the response was usually that Rife didn't work, could be harmful, could cause Cancer, and so on. There were positive responses such as "some of my patients swear by it" too like I said.
I found a ton or research and support in favor of Rife, so I believe it is indeed helpful and has merit. I wish it was studied more. Certainly by now it it was a CURE we would all be cured from using it. I still think it takes a combination of things to get well. Rife is probably a big piece of the puzzle for many of us. Before you get defensive, and make me out to be some "anti-Rife" lunatic please read what I said, not what you think I said please.
Ask your own doctor what they think. Keep in mind that those doctors have their own approaches to Lyme treatment and that if you want to use Rife, then you are basically somewhat telling them you don't need them or what they have to offer(or it could be felt that way to them) that is what I meant by be careful. They cannot tell you that Rife works. Hello!
I understand. Make's sense. Thanks WC. Most doctors should be able to provide support even if they can't offer direct therapies with drugs. Supporting the body thru prescribing detoxification routines, education, even emotional support and guidance in other holistic areas.

I have no opinion or experience as I never rifed, but keep in mind LLMDs want to make $$$$. If rife worked and you didn't 'need them', why on Earth does anyone think they'd promote it even if allowed to by law? Like everyone else, they need to drive cars, pay for nice buildings, and have money right? We assume LLMD = selfless = no concerns over revenue and patient base and just an eternal wish to cure all patients anyway possible. It's idealistic, but not true many times.

Then there is always the subject of money as well. There are many people spending tens of thousands of dollars on IV, long term ABx, etc....Some have spent hundreds of thousands.
I actually think that if Rife works for some and you could re-coup a lot of your cost if in your situation that if it did not work(sell the machine), it could also be a lot cheaper in the lung run then a lot of the western medicine approaches. Some people just can't afford long term abx or IV's.

Rife is not just placebo!! Depends pm what coinfections and what strain of the pathogen you have. Just have to keep plugging away at it and trying new freuquencies, increasing times with the enem to at least 7 mins for each freuquency and run at least a few times a week!! This is a key. if one does not work. Keeping a jourmal is a must!!
